Goodbye Mum

My mum sadly passed away following a stay in hospital linked to vascular dementia. The funeral service we selected rather let us down and could not offer an all-in-one service, so we have had to arrange a burial and a separate memorial instead. Mum's church have kindly agreed to facilitate that as part of their …

Just Pretend You’re On Holiday

I dreamt that we had just stopped off at my mum's house in London on our way home to Milton Keynes after a holiday in Cornwall. My mum was moaning that she didn't like where they were living in London and that she wanted to move to Penzance.I told her it could kill Daddy to …

Looking forward

Hi people 🙂 A happy post for a change. I'm feeling good! I have been so down for so long. All the heaviness of the past few years just heaped up on me and I was so weighed down I couldn't get up. There is obviously a situational basis for my misery - I had …

Drive to Holsworthy

I have actually lost count now how many weeks I have been holed up at home, cocooned from the nasty weather, but it's at least three weeks and could easily be double that. This week I had a task that couldn't be put off any longer. I had a cheque that I needed to put …

Luke 8: Waiting on the Lord

These are my notes from Sunday's sermon at the Pentecostal church. It might be a little disjointed because it is just notes, it's not meant to be a polished article. I hope it's of benefit to somebody. This was actually an awesome, honest sermon - the Christian life is hard. We pray & things seem …

Trip to Morrisons

So, as I alluded to in my last post, I am a (hopefully recovering) agoraphobic. I never previously considered myself an anxious person (although I suspect my husband might disagree because he is so laid-back that he thinks hippies are highly strung! 🙂 But we have had a run of hard times, culminating last year …

Finding New Favourite Places

I've lived in north Cornwall for coming up for 5 years in March 2016, but I haven't really properly investigated my local town or much of the countryside or coast around north Devon and Cornwall. I wanted to love the place, but I haven't enjoyed being here nearly as much as I thought I would. …

Home Ed & Fibro

I imagined when we started the new year that I would somehow manage to find the time to post regular weekly updates. Of course that hasn't happened. I would like to be able to say that it's due to being far too busy to blog! But in fact it has been more to do with …

Roundup of the Summer

I just thought, as the sun is streaming in where I am sitting and brightening my spirits, that I would do a quick (ha! Sorry it got long!) roundup of what's been happening to me over the summer. I've been very quiet, I'm sorry. I have noticed a pattern of becoming ill just as the …

Autumn Plans 2015

Just a quick update and a moan! Our summer has flown by and been filled with a week at Creation Fest (which involved lots of music, skating, and eating doughnuts!) A week with my mum and brother, showing them round north Cornwall, and finally a week in Watford with a few trips and get togethers …
